What To Do
Reposition the dishes, so the water from the lower spray arm
can flush the detergent cup. See the LOADING section.
Reposition the tall utensils or heavy silverware that may
be keeping the dispenser cup door from opening. See the
LOADING section.
Don't place large bowls or pots directly under the detergent
dispenser.
Remove marks with a mild, abrasive cleaner.
Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F.
Select Dry.
Use Temp.
Select a higher cycle, such as Sanitize.
Check the rinse agent dispenser and fill as required.
Leave door closed after the Clean light appears to allow the fan
to run an additional 90 minutes.
Note: If you open the door, this fan extension will be cancelled.
Make sure the door is firmly closed.
Make sure water valve (usually located under the sink) is turned
on.
Remove Ultra-Fine filter and lightly tap the piece under the
ultra fine filter that looks like a salt shaker. Replace the filter.
Haier Appliances recommends Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid to help
prevent hard water mineral deposits from forming.
Run dishwasher with citric acid to remove mineral deposits. Citric acid
(Part number: WD35X151) can be ordered through Haier Appliances
Parts. See back cover for ordering information. Alternatively,
purchase Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner and follow the directions on
the label.
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other
appliances from the circuit.
In some installations, the power to the dishwasher is provided
through a wall switch, often located next to the disposer
switch. Make sure it is on.
Unlock control panel. See the Getting started section.
See the Using the dishwasher section.
Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the others. To
relight, touch any pad again or open the door and unlock.
Clean the air gap. See the CARE AND CLEANING section.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
If you have an air gap, clean it. See the CARE AND CLEANING
section.
If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.
Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may
need a plumber.
